Tonight is Ohio State’s 2010 football season opener against Marshall at Ohio Stadium. So I have made just a few small preparations.
I have put my 8′ inflatable Brutus Buckeye mascot in the front yard (see updated info on the bottom of this post if you’re interested in finding a similar inflatable Brutus Buckeye)
and my flag is flying in its spot by the driveway.
Tonight I will put on my new silly bandz in the shape of Buckeye gear,
grab a foam finger,
dress my son in his ball cap, Buckeye necklace
and jersey.
Then I will run into the kitchen past the refrigerator magnet,
fill the dog’s water bowl,
grab my tortilla chips
and salsa
and plop down in my favorite chair to watch the game.
What, it’s not like I’m a fanatic about the Buckeyes or anything? I’m not planning on being buried in one of these.
Nope, now that would be going overboard!
UPDATE – Fall 2015
I’ve had numerous people reach out to me to find out where I bought my inflatable Brutus Buckeye. Sadly the Brutus in these photos had a run in with our Labradoodle a few years ago and we could never find a replacement. Until NOW!!! There are a few places you where can find a similar Brutus this year:
Home Depot or Amazon to name a few.
Brutus looks a little more “intense” this year! He’s got a National Championship to defend after all!

Please tell me you don’t paint yourself red/gray/white!! If you do…please post pictures…I wouldn’t want to miss that!>) Diana

Love the mascot. I had no idea you could buy them for your home. Have you see the Longaberger line with college teams?

Where did you get your mascot? Can not find one like that anywhere!!! The ones now aren’t very cute!

I got it at The Anderson’s a few years ago. Sadly Brutus had a run in with our Labradoodle and he doesn’t hold air anymore,so I’m on the lookout for a replacement now 🙁 I’ll let you know if I find a cute one!
Cathy
GREAT! Much appreciated! I’ve looked all over the net and can’t find one as cute as yours was!
